The goal of the GAISE: Pre-K–12 Report is statistical literacy for all. But statistical literacy is not achievable unless students understand why they personally need to learn statistics. Fake news and the COVID-19 pandemic are two subjects that are relevant and concrete for students.
This lesson allows students to explore whether intrinsic (self-motivation) or extrinsic (physical) rewards are a better motivator for best results on a creativity assessment.

Statistics Teacher editor Christine Franklin introduces new editors Trena Wilkerson, Jennifer Green, and Charlotte Bolch.
Michael Hansen has taught AP Statistics for 25 years and high-school computer science for about 13 years. This summer, he used ChatGPT to help him write a Python application of about 3,000 lines. Here are his top 10 takeaways from that experience.
